FBI director will not recommend criminal case against Hillary Clinton in email probe.

(CNN) – A majority of Americans say they disagree with the FBI’s decision not to recommend criminal charges against Hillary Clinton for her use of a private email server while she was secretary of state, according to a new poll.

A Washington Post/ABC News poll, released Monday, found that 56% of American adults disapprove of the FBI’s decision, while 35% said they approved. But a majority — 58% — also said the issue would not affect their vote in the 2016 presidential election.

Opinions on the FBI’s decision were sharply divided along partisan lines.

According to the poll, nearly 90% of Republicans said Clinton should have been charged, while only about 30% of Democrats said the same.
